THE WAY 1T IS DONE.

Some of our friends wonder how it
is that VIC can send out this paper so
regularly these hard times. Well,
friends, times are hard, and it is not
an easy task for us to raise S12 to S15
every week. The printer must have
his money an ddraace or We get no pa
per. But then we have bona tide
list and advertising patronage from
which we draw yet, because some Of
our subscribers get behind with us we
are forced to beg and borrow at times.
Twelve years experience in the bust
ness has taught US few lessons by
which we profit. The MESSENGER is a
fixed institution and that is why we
cannot afford to fail in sending it out.
Let each subscriber pay up. and that
is how the thing is done The bust
ness men and citizens generally appre-
ciate the value of this paper, hence
thew advertise and read.

Normal Institute.

lMR. EDIroR-Dedr Sir: You have
ably and impartially defended the
effort to establish a higher grade of
education for training olored teachers
You have sharply Disseminated be-
tween the wrong position which some
of our colored leaders took and the
right which they ought to yindicate
The great masses of our people viii.
beyond doubt, cheerfully cooperate
with our editors in exposing the views
of such men who opposed the appro-
priation Of $40 900 annually for the
support of colored institute Our
white men should not be wholly
blamcd-since the colored peoples
representatives failed even to solicit
the educational demand OF their race.
This suits only such men whose minds
are quite limited, as observed from
their actions or position in respect to
the great voice of the people.
The whites took their $50, 900 an
nually, which the State gives them
and yet some of our honored men OPP
posed, on no ground whatever, the
little sum of $4,000. Such men
should be denounced to the public.
The secret is hidden one Some
are ready to defend themselves. but
too late Your sentiments have been
heard Your own words were printed
and weighed before us, and nothing
was in favor of this bill. Where is
reason? Where divine conscience
Wake up conscience and help the per-
verified reason of men /, There should
be united disapproval and condemna-
ton of men who are destined to
check the rapid progress of so great a
people. Teachers of North Carolina
should take warning, AMI put better
leaders in front-otherwise the public
will no longer keep silent.
South Carolina, bitter State, but
partly supports colored university in
its State. Other States support color
cd institutes, and what sound reason
would any man produce why the
colored people need no aid from this
State? 1t is not because they are so
enlightened, nor because they are so
rich neither because Biddle Univer-
sity, Salisbury and other benevolent
universities or colleges of learning are
situated in the State-is no reason
why they should object How much
money does North Carolina contribute
for the support of these charitable
schools? Nothing but good will, and
not much of that, is exhibited in
some places.
Then. those who objected to the
$40, 900 for the Normal Institute have
proved themselves enemies to their
own race, and hence are dangerous

be now, even, Democrats, we should
not forget or speak i'll of that party,
without good cause, which in spite of
the vast opposition arrayed against it,
educated the country and the Demo-
cratic party, too, up to the standpoint
to recognize the fact:
THAT man to man, the world DER,
Shall brothers be for a that"
The continual heaping ofblame upon
the Republican party is to be deplored.
1t is like kicking a man while down
Does the Republican party deserve
such treatment? If we measure care
fully we must admit that the Republi-
can party is not to be blamed for all
the sins of omission of Republican
office holders, that have affected the
Negro; therefore it is unjust to abuse
her now.
President Cleveland IS shrewd
politician This is shown not alone by
his appointment of Negroes to certain
positions ; but by his marriage even.
We should not allow ourselves to be
carried away by these political strokes
Of policy, so as to forget friends in
need. We hail with delight the indie
pendence of thought manifested by the
Negroes of to-day; and trust that they
will follow such cases as will be best
for their country and themselves. Be
Democrats if you will, or Republicans;
but be not unjust to any man.
Prof. d. B. johnson, Superinten-
dent Graded Schools has returned from
Washington, where he attended the
Superintendent Convention. He was
highly pleased with his trip. 1t is
hoped that the schools, here, will re-
ceive some practical benefit from his
trip, as no doubt they will.
In addition to the books purchased
for the Howard school, stage has
been erected out of ''Concert funds"
and beautiful walnut bookcase pur-
chased. The boys of the school have
erected a gymnasium for themselves,
and the girls are arranging to do the
same thing for themselves.

Education.

Mr.. EDIToR-Dear Sir. / am truly
proud 10 see the MESSENGER standing
firm on the subject of education. 1t
is the business of the people to put
men in front. and then watch what
they do and communicate it to each
other, and when the public discover
their working not in their favor, then
60 to work for another leader. The
time has been when any one could
lead the American freedmen, but now
every year you must be a little
stronger, and he who thinks he can
lead twenty years from to-day with
the same strength, thinks what Abso-
lam thought when he went to
war for David's kingdom. We know
the truth is hard to keep down, but it
depends on how aud where it comes
up for sweetness. You can publish
this if you choose. 1t is matter
Of choice with me.
1t is bad to be fool. Jui one good
thing there is a school in which he
will learn. An old citizen said, The
jul nor pohitcntiary never was made

scrape was to come up? +"
Notwithstanding being as ignorant
of the fact as Hcrod was Of the where

A Dissent from The Freeman-Other
Matters.

The most authoritative educators
hold that it is the best way to reform
bad boys by impressing them that you
have great confidence in them, and by
praising them for every act done that
appears to be good. This acts as an
encouragement, stimulus to greater
efforts to merit the approval of the
adroit master. This rule holds good
from boyhood through manhood ; and
the mature man can be reached in the
same way. 1t is a good plan. and
should be operated in all cases, where
good will result from its practice /;
but it should never be used in a way
to do injustice to those persons who
have pursued such course, as to al
most always merit the highest praise
and honor.
The New York Freeman, in the
main, very wisely pursues this plan in
its efforts to bring about a reform in
the Democratic party as to its treat
ment of the Negro but we are rather
inclined to. the idea that the Freeman
does injustice to one of the greatest
and best political parties (namely, the
Republican, ever formed by men and
does injustice to some of the truest
philanthropists that ever raised their
hands Or voices for humanity's sake,
by saying "a Democratic Pres
dent has fought as square a fight fol
the colored mans rights to his homes
convictions as the astutest Republican
ever fought" Circumstances are nov
such that Cleveiand's most faithful
efforts in behalf of those who lahored
for the Negro would be made a
shadow when compared with the un-
selfish and life-devoted efforts Of those
who labored for the Negro when il
was unpopular, terminal, = and cost
men their lives to do so. As denial
of this statement we need only to re-
call the efforts of but one character.
He who fell under the blow of
would-be assassin. because he cham
pioned the rights of human beings
and who died ultimately from the eff
fects of this same brutal blow, and
when dying urged his colleagues not
to allow that for which he had sacri-
feed so much come to naught. No
Negro generation can be too remote
not to remember one of Americas
grateste statesmen and philauthropists
and one Of her astutest Republicans
Charles Sumner, who urged, Don't
let the Civil Rights Bill fail"
Again, while it is true that nearly
all Of the colored men elevated to high
elective positions, we're elevated to
them by Negro votes, it must be re-
membered that the Republican party,
chiefly, made the Negro vote possible,
while the Democratic party bent every
energy to make it impossible. And
while the Democratic party is TO be
complimented for the good things done
for the colored mau, yet, though We

CINcINNATI. July 24.-Warner NJ. Bateman,
who, in 1880. was recognized as .Shermans lieu
tenant before the Republican convention, said:
''You can rest assured that the Republican State
convention at Toledo. next week, will give
Sherman hearty Endorsement So many as
surances to that effect have come TO me- and
from SO many quarters, that feel certain of it.
In spite of recent declarations to the contrary,
feel confident of Shermans nomination next
year. In spite of Blaine's acknowledged
strength, do not believe he could be elected,
while Sherman can be. It would be impossible
for instance for Blaine to carry Indiana,
although the Republicans carried the State last
